Long distance slurry pipeline transport is a proven technology and is now widely accepted as a viable alternative to conventional bulk transport. Key to the success of a long distance system is minimizing operating costs by determining the optimum grinding requirements for pipeline transport.

Many processes are not fully optimised. Variability of the ore characteristics, increases in throughput or general wear and tear over time, for example, are often overlooked. Paterson & Cooke has a dedicated group focusing on providing follow-up field services to our clients.

As a company we are committed to sharing our specialist knowledge and skills by hosting courses that aim to equip participants with a broad understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to the topic.
